"As for the jia xiang beef ho fun, the meat, which came in a mediocre black bean sauce, wasn't great, but the braised shiitake mushrooms were delicious. Prawn dumplings, Szechuan wontons and spring rolls, meanwhile, were competent renditions of old familiars." READ REVIEW

"So we may not have eaten the finest Cantonese (and Malaysian and Singaporean and Sichuanese and Taiwanese) food in the world - or even in London - but we're full and happy." READ REVIEW

"It’s a shame this isn’t all better made and more attractively flavoured, because it is inventive and unusual, the concept brave and necessary in a city that’s way too expensive for its most ecstatic denizens." READ REVIEW

"...we feel the eclectic nature of the menu hinders the restaurant from truly delivering the best of these well-loved classics." READ REVIEW

"...and you leave this zoomingly hectic restaurant with hardly any aftertaste from the food, the drink or the atmosphere. It's hip, super-efficient and almost entirely soulless." READ REVIEW

"...it’s effectively a cross betwen Wagamama and Busaba Eathai, with that touch of je ne sais quoi you expect from the man behind Hakkasan." READ REVIEW

"Chinatown isn't going to like this one bit, as Cha Cha Moon redefines the noodle bar, parking it firmly between Hakkasan's glamour and Wagamama's debasement. This is one for the people, with cheap, cheerful and fun recession dining. " READ REVIEW

Reviewed on May 14, 2008
"Assuming that the menu pricing is calculated on the principle of what you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts, apart from a rather drab item called beancurd roll, our many other choices all seemed to be swings." READ REVIEW
